A friend of mine turned me onto these little numbers through SkinnyTaste.com! What to do with a couple over ripe bananas..throw in some oatmeal, fold in walnuts (or in my case glazed pecans because that’s what I had..) and Voila! Breakfast, lunch or snack on the go 😉

I WISH the picture did these justice! I made these with the Banana Foster Parfait for my boyfriend (of whom we should call by his name, Kris) and his friend, Daniel..let me remind you, both are cooks. Good cooks. Kris said the next day, ‘These, we need to make again.’ They are fantastic…like Yumbo!
Cajun sautéed Vegetable Stuffed Baked Potatoes
The cajun flavors simmered and sautéed into these vegetables, then tossed with vegan sour cream and the scooped out potato, re-stuff ’em into their potato skins, throw ’em under the broiler for a bit and topped off with creme fraiche! Really?! YUM
The Recipe is Here, Enjoy 😉
Yum…..great staple dish to have around to grab or fast recipe for easy nights. My boyfriend actually said ‘I could eat vegan if it involved dishes like this’…Lol, he’s such a good sport 😉
“Beef” with Sugar Snap Peas
Soaking your “Beef” (“cough”) ..or baby bellas.. in soy sauce, then sauteing yellow onion in ginger, sesame oil and soy sauce, add fresh sugar snap peas, carrots, some hoisin mixed with veggie broth and corn starch..let it all thicken just a bit then serve it right over whole grain brown rice…Yum!

I don’t like salad much. …..Can you believe that someone that eats primarily Plant Based doesn’t really like salad?? It has to be a darn good, unique, flavorful salad. I don’t believe in drowning salads in dressings to make them palatable. A salad itself has to be interesting, creative and amazing enough on its own for me to go there.
I LIKE this salad.
Fiery Thai “Beef” Salad
The mixture of warmth from sauteed onions and tomatoes, broiled bella mushrooms and cool from mint, spring mix, water chestnuts and cucumbers, to a bit of fire via sriracha tossed with fresh lime juice, cilantro, brown sugar. It is so NOT short on flavors and lure. It’s the sort of salad I find myself going back for more, craving more….which is so off for me to ever crave salad..

Enchilada Casserole
Yum! I highly recommend this with the fresh avocado and a dollop of cool vegan sour cream-on-top version. The multiple layers of corn tortillas, vegan mexican cheese, black bean onion and spices mixture, baked to bubbly warmth and topped with cool cilantro, avocados and sour cream makes this a perfect experience….Mmmm! Fyi: It’s great to pop in Tupperware and take with for lunch 😉
This has a bit of kick, so modify if there’s someone in your household that doesn’t gravitate toward the spicy side of things 😉

Aloo Gobi
This brings together about a dozen spices from Garam masala to ginger, turmeric, and cayenne. Cardamom, coriander, cumin and cinnamon. …the list goes on. All blended together with sautéed onions, garlic, golden potatoes, cauliflower, tomatoes and chick peas….you know how I love chickpeas! The flavors are fantastic. Serve over basmati rice or have on its own. YUM! And, you’ll definitely have people saying ‘what smells so good!?’ when they walk in your house.
Enjoy!
Lo Mein
ohhhhh searching, looking, wanting some darn good Lo Mein …stop, ohhhh, found it! No kidding…though my sons may be appalled….This is their favorite Lo Mein recipe I’ve made for them since they were little, though it used to have chunks of flank steak in it…..pre-vegan days… I’ve been craving this recipe and not sure how well it would come out, will it be a lame twist on something we used to love?…
It came out SO good…! I mean fabulous. The Recipe is Here

Stir-Fried Veggies in Spicy Orange Sauce
Middle of a Saturday…hungry…this recipe came about, YUM! What a line up of veggies; sweet onions, julienned red bells, straw mushrooms, baby corns, the crunch of water chestnuts, some sugar snap peas, fresh broccoli slaw and chopped green onions all stir-fried up in the kick and sweetness of this Spicy Orange Sauce…it makes you want more and more even though your nose may run a little 😉 Serve it all over hot steaming rice and I recommend sprinkling it with a tablespoon of crushed dry roasted peanuts and some fresh chopped cilantro….did I mention YUM!!
